Abstract

An exemplary atomizing device includes a main body, a mouthpiece, a liquid chamber, at least one heating element, and a permeating component. The main body defines an air inlet and an air passage. The air inlet is in communication with the air passage. The mouthpiece is arranged at an end of the main body. The mouthpiece defines an air outlet in communication with the air passage. The liquid chamber is configured for storing tobacco liquid. The at least one heating element is arranged in the air passage. The at least one heating element is configured for heating the tobacco liquid to form aerosol. The permeating component has a heat absorbing surface. The at least one heating element is in contact with the heat absorbing surface. The permeating component is configured for guiding the tobacco liquid to the heat absorbing surface for atomization.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An atomizing device, comprising:
a main body defining an air inlet and an air passage, the air inlet being in communication with the air passage;
a mouthpiece arranged at an end of the main body, the mouthpiece defining an air outlet, the air outlet being in communication with the air passage;
a liquid chamber in the main body, the liquid chamber being configured for storing tobacco liquid;
at least one heating element arranged in the air passage, the at least one heating element being configured for heating the tobacco liquid to form aerosol; and
a permeating component having a heat absorbing surface, the at least one heating element being in contact with the heat absorbing surface, the permeating component being configured for guiding the tobacco liquid to the heat absorbing surface for atomization.

2. The atomizing device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one part of the permeating component is in contact with the tobacco liquid in the liquid chamber.

3. The atomizing device according to claim 2 , further comprising a liquid absorbing layer on part of the permeating component in contact with the tobacco liquid, wherein the liquid absorbing layer is configured for absorbing the tobacco liquid.

4. The atomizing device according to claim 3 , wherein the liquid absorbing layer is made of fiber cotton or sponge.

5. The atomizing device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one heating element is stripe-shaped, and is attached to the heat absorbing surface, or the at least one heating element comprises a heating layer printed on the heat absorbing surface.
